2014

This week was originally going to be our Fallout 4 halfway point show, however we realized that neither Ashgar nor Belghast have even touched the main storyline. While Ashgar has the excuse of travel… Bel is nearly level 20 and still has yet to go to Diamond City. So instead we opted to do an old fashioned roundtable show, where we talk about what everyone has been playing.

This week we have a bit of a change in the show. When we started compiling the list of what we wanted to talk about, it turned out that for the most part they were broader subjects rather than individual game specific ones. As a result we ended up pushing aside talking about specific games because in those four topics we felt like we had more than a show's worth. The end result was us talking about "things" for an hour and a half and I think one of the more interesting shows we have recorded to date.
The topics we discussed

We talk about raiding, and get nostalgic about point and click adventure games. Additionally there has been one game that all of us have been playing this week... and even though it is the game of the month there is no way we could stop from talking about it as well. That's right we start digging into Fallout 4 and all of the different ways we have been playing it. We are keeping it largely spoiler free and talking more about the mechanics and exploration of the game.

This week we have Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra and Tamrielo with Thalen once again travelling. Over the course of the week we had a discussion about an Extra Credits video calling Destiny the Law and Order of gaming. This spawned a further discussion about what ended up getting termed as "Junk Food Gaming", aka those gaming experiences that you play because they are enjoyable but also don't require much thought for you to consume. This week we spawn a continuance of this discussion, and we find out why Tam is not on board with this concept. Additionally we have a lengthy discussion about all of the latest announcements from BlizzCon and several other subjects. Things we talked about...

This month marks our ninth AggroChat game club title, and we have officially gone full circle looping back around to Belghast. He chose a deeply nostalgic title that draws in the feelings of Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Secrets of Mana and wraps them up in a modern package. Secrets of Grindea is a charming early access title, and it marks quite possibly one of the more positively reviewed games we have done in this time. The only real complaints that we had... was that there wasn't more of it yet. So join us as we talk through out thoughts about the game, and also queue up the November/December game of the month...
